Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S31 204. Barbara’s Nervousness

“Hello, Orion,” Emily whispered as the tiny baby in the box opened his eyes. Her hand reached out, trying to reach his chubby cheek.

From the other side of the box, Louis also looked inside. “Hello, Oscar.

“Louis?” Emily scolded with round eyes. “Why do you call him Oscar? This is our first meeting with him. Don’t make a bad impression.”

Louis pursed his lips. “Okay, sorry. I’m used to it. Let me repeat.”

After clearing his throat, he looked down again. “Hello, Orion. It’s me, Louis. I’m your cousin.”

Emily smiled slightly and nodded. “That’s just right.”

After giving Louis thumbs up, she waved her hand downwards. “And I’m Emily. Nice to meet you, Orion.”

For a few moments, the two toddlers were busy observing Orion. Philip and Barbara were amused by their comments.

“It turns out that Uncle Philip was right. Orion looks like both of parents. His eyes are like Auntie’s, while his nose and mouth are

Uncle’s.”

“His chin also looks like Uncle’s, but his hair looks like Auntie’s.”

“Emily, do you notice it? I think Orion is a little bigger than Russell before.”

“Is it true?” Emily bowed her head. Squinting, she counted Orion by the inch. “I think it’s the same.”

“No! Orion is a little longer. Maybe that’s also what makes it difficult for Aunt Ava to push him out.”

“Because he’s a big baby?” Emily’s eyes widened.

“Yeah, and his head is rounder too, I think Russell.”

Philip and Barbara chuckled at them

Orion is also fatter than

“Instead of guessing, it’s better for you to just compare the data. Orion has already been measured by the nurse.” Barbara tapped the

ID board hanging on the outside of the box.

“Do you guys still remember Russell’s weight and length?” Philip added.

The twins’ brows furrowed. Their lips pursed.

“Hmm, too bad, we were too busy playing with Russell at that time. We didn’t pay attention to the board How about we just ask Mommy,

Louis?”

Louis nodded. “She’ll be here in a moment. Mommy must know whether Orion is bigger or not when she sees him in person.”

Just as Louis finished his sentence, the door opened. Seeing H and Susan coming, their eyes lit up. “Russell!”

After jumping down from the chairs they stepped on, the twins ran hug Kara. “Mommy! How is Russell today? Is he whining looking fo

us?”

“Hello, Little Angel. Russell is very excited today. It seems like he knew that he would go to meet his younger cousin.”

“Really? Wow, Russell is really smart.” After a short laugh, the twins turned to Susan. “How are you today, Grandma? Did Russell cry when he’s with you?”

Susan shook her head slightly. “No. Russell is very cheerful today. He saw my garden earlier.”

“Mommy took him to the greenhouse?” Emily looked at Kara with sparkling eyes.

Kara nodded furiously. “Yeah. Maybe that’s what makes him happy too.”

“Now, Mommy,” Louis pulled Kara’s shirt to follow him, “look at Orion. Is he bigger than Russell before?”

Kara glanced at Jeremy who was feeding Ava. Both understood that she would not be able to say hello before fulfilling the twins’ wishes.

“Oh, hello, Orion. You’re so cute.” Kara imitated a child’s voice.

“Is he bigger, Mommy?” Emily gave a small jump.

Kara nodded. “Yes, he is 2 cm taller than Russell. He also weighs

more.”

Louis put his hands on his hips, proud. “What I said? Orion is bigger. That’s why it’s more difficult for Auntie to get him out.”

While chuckling, Kara turned to Ava. “How are you, Young Mom?”

Ava smiled slightly. “Much better.” She didn’t dare say much becau Barbara was there. Kara understood the implied meaning.

“Did Barbara see the process?”

Barbara blinked stiffly. “No. Orion was born right before I arrived.”

“The process took a very long time, Mommy. Emily and I cried. We were moved to see Auntie’s struggle She-”

Louis stopped because Emily elbowed him. At first, he frowned. However, seeing Philip’s narrowed eyes, he realized.

“Just like Mommy, all mothers are very instrumental in giving birth to their children.” Louis nodded firmly and smiled awkwardly at the end

“Yes, and soon, it will be Aunt Barbara’s turn to give birth. The doctor said Aunt Barbara will give birth easier. She has bigger hips.” Emily spread her arms.

Kara nodded slowly. “That makes sense. Moreover, the baby is a girl. It’s probably smaller than Russell. Barbara must be able to give birth smoothly.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Worry canceled to appear on Barbara’s face. Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyebrows. “I hope that’s true.”

“It must be true. Moreover, you are determined to fulfill all the doctor’s recommendations. You are doing exercise this afternoon, right?” Philip stroked Barbara’s waist.

“Of course. You’ll accompany me, right?”

Philip nodded with a faint smile. Meanwhile, the twins raise their hands.

“Can we accompany you, Auntie?”

“No!” Barbara snapped in less than a second. Her assertiveness made the twins giggle. Thanks to the tickling sound of laughter, Barbara was able to relax again.

“Auntie, why did you choose to take a leisurely walk today? Why not just do some exercise?” Louis said as he walked around Barbara with high steps.

While stroking her stomach, Barbara sighed, “I need peace, Louis. If you want to accompany me, it’s best not to ask too many questions.”

“Maybe it’s because Auntie is getting closer to the date set by the doctor. Three days left, right, Auntie?” Emily looked up to the side.

Barbara sighed again. “Yeah, stop reminding me of it.”

“Why? Shouldn’t you be happy? Soon you will be able to meet your

child!”

Barbara quickened her pace. Louis stopped surrounding her. “Auntie, don’t rush. You could have contractions again.”

Emily nodded in agreement. “If that happens, we’ll be in trouble. Uncle Philip is still on the phone.” Her head turned to the park bench far behind. Philip was still sitting there.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I have had contractions in the car earlier. That won’t happen any time soon.”

“But in the past, Mommy had contractions more frequently when Russell was about to be born. Do you remember, Emily? On our birthday, Mommy had contractions almost every few minutes.”

Emily nodded. “Yes, I remember. We told Mommy to rest. Next thing I knew, Daddy had taken Mommy to the hospital.”

“I heard that Aunt Ava was like that too. Her contractions became more frequent until she finally couldn’t take it anymore and was tal to the hospital.”

“Kids, why don’t you accompany Russell to his immunizations? Th seems better than accompanying me here.”

Louis’ lips pursed. “Mommy said Russell is fussier when we’re around so we chose to accompany you for a leisurely walk. So how is it, Auntie? Aren’t you happy that we accompany you?”

Barbara stopped in her tracks. Her eyes glanced at the twins with a lazy impression. “I’m happy as long as you don’t make me nervous.”

“So you need entertainment?” Emily smiled mysteriously. A second later, she and Louis did the praying frogs pose.

“Have we entertained you enough?” Emily asked between laughs.

“Come on, Auntie. Keep walking. We’ll be the guard frogs.” Louis moved forward, still in that super strange pose. He didn’t care if other park visitors giggled at him.

“Yes, come on, Auntie!” Emily followed.

Seeing how ridiculous the twins were, Barbara failed to hold back her laughter. All her worries disappeared. “You guys… really.”

However, when she was about to take a step, she gasped. Her mouth was agape, her eyes wide and looking down.

“Kids?”

The twins were still laughing, not hearing her soft call.

“Kids!”

“What’s wrong, Auntie?” The twins turned around casually. Seeing that Barbara’s pants were wet, both of them also gasped.
